Criticism and Analysis of Joyces WorkDid you ever want to play mind games with a tree? Just take every book, research paper, newsletter, essay, and journal devoted to illuminating the mysteries of Joyce, and gather them all into a big pile: the sheer amount of paper alone could make an entire forest recoil in horror. Indeed, the esoteric world of Joycecrit is something of an academic cottage industry, and a comprehensive survey of more serious Joycean criticism would be a project worthy of an entire Web site all to itself. Therefore, the following list does not aspire to completion  its goal is to catalog some of the more noteworthy, useful, or intriguing works commonly accessible to the interested reader.Please note that that this page also contains a Quick Reference Card of all the titles listed in this section.
